[y2blade]

Yep.

I'm enjoying it again now Jo Whiley has finished her stint .

[P-Jay]

Caught some of it on the way in today, really enjoyed it.

But WTF has happened to 'Dangerous' Dave Pearce, have Radio 2 employed someone who just happens to have the same name as the guy who did Dance Anthems on a Sunday night? His voice (and style) is completely different, in fact he sounds exactly like Steve Wright now.

[Simpo Two]

You can keep yer Jo Whiley and Dangerous Dave's Dance Anfems on Radio 1 matey, out of harm's way. Where's Spandau Ballet and other proper music eh?

Yeah, what he said!








Actually, do they play Spandau on radio 2 ?

I enjoyed that "country hour"

[P-Jay]

[y2blade]

Terry Wogan is a comedy Genius

Oi

Best of the day so far Tony Blackburn and Terry Wogan - i must be getting old.....

[heebeegeetee]

It's been great today, really glad I tuned in.

I too really loved that country hour, that was excellent.

I think I might have some Loretta Lynn on my ipod...

[Jazoli]

Hurray, caught some of it between jobs today, no nauseating Jeremy tt Vine, or 'did you see what I did' Wright.

Enjoyed the country and western bit strangely, even Norton was ok this morning, I had to turn the Jo Whiley bit off after Damon All Bran started making noise.

Edit just tuned in at home to listen to the '80's bit and the tt Vine is on

Really enjoyed the whole day...closed with Keane live from the 100 club.

[Legacywr]

Surprise surprise.. I enjoyed the people I normaly, and didn't enjoy the people I don't!

Could somebody explain what the point of it all was??

[Sparky137]

This screwed with my mind all day!! I'm used to hearing Steve Wright in the afternoon, not the morning. I thought it was nearly time to go home when he was on.

Best bit (only good bit?) was Nick Kershaw playing The Riddle live (acoustic). A fantastic performance.

Does anyone actually enjoy Damon Albarn? He's always popping up on the Beeb, I just don't get his stuff at all. I enjoyed most of what I heard today but it threw into sharp relief how good the best presenters are compared to the embarrassing wannabes ie Zoe Ball,Jo Whiley & Dermot O'Leary.

[Sparky137]

Not sure how you can call Zoe Ball and Jo Whiley 'wannabes' as they have already peaked their careers on Radio 1 in the days when it was worth listening to.

[kev b]

I meant they are wannabe R2 presenters, as opposed to the drivel spouting, over excited, fawning R1 fare at which they are consummate.
